I had an ATI Super Damper installed a few miles back and have not had any more wobbles since.

So I took my 2010 GS to the dealer and they found a service bulletin on the squeaky belt issue and it said to replace the serpentine belt. They did and the noise went away, nearly 2K quiet miles since. No charge.

Good Luck!

Same Here. My 2010 GS developed a chirp only after 1K miles, dealer replaced the belt per TSB. Chirp came back after another 1K miles, they replaced the HB/pulley per TSB (which requires complete front end tear down, which I saw on the rack). Chirp came back again and I was not amused. Based on suggestions from this forum I suggested to the dealer to try a Gatorback, which they did. I've got 7K miles now and no chirp so far. They should add this as 1st step in TSB, or put them on at the factory.

Great to hear ateam, that was awesome news,

Not all have been so fortunate, as stated by others the fix at a dealer will be upwards of 1k, now get back to enjoying your car,

They said that the pulley was A-OK and that both my AC and serpentine belts were glazed over. Like lastcowboy said, there is some rust/dirt buildup on the pulleys - especially the crank - which my friend and I will clean up when we do belts this weekend.

They also checked over the rest of the car and the only other thing they found was the low tread on my rears which I knew about. Only charged me for 30 minutes, so $50 for peace and mind.

Now to figure out which belts would be best to put on it. Thanks everyone for your help.

gator belt......
